I am using python, but I am not an expert. I think GEM is faster for image operations, since it is hardwarebased or at least c code. and also I don't want to change my images at all, just display them correctly. the pix_info works great at the moment. I still will have a look at the possibilities with PIL. marius.
I think (please step in Gem developers) that the hardware acceleration only applies to 3d and not pix operations, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway
true, but [pix_texture] is a "3d" (that is: openGL) operation and therefore hardware acceleration applies.
[pix_draw] is usually NOT done in hardware (at least on non SGI machines ;-)), that is why [pix_texture]+[rectangle] is recommended.
